So I've recently arrived in the UK, and have my CV posted on a couple of job websites. Who knows where this information goes...
For the last four days, I've had a repeat phone call from somebody claiming to have "very privileged information" about a company, and then namedrop all sorts of companies like Mongomery Asset Management, UBS, Fasco etc who are all supposedly guiding this company through to IPO and they are looking for Private Equity investors like myself..
I'm steering well clear obviously and have told them they have zero trust and to not bother calling back - it's certainly not how I make my investment decisions at any rate. But they call every day wondering if i've changed my mind.
Anyone else get this sort of thing? While I won't be giving them any money or any details, given their cold call approach - do legit companies actually do this sort of thing in the UK?
cheers
